Are snarling
Under the muddy skies.

Of faint stale smells of beer
From the sawdust-trampled street

To early coffee-stands.”

“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express.

Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
